PHILADELPHIA, PA — Families seeking a delightful and engaging way to celebrate the New Year can join the Countdown 2 Noon event at the Please Touch Museum. Designed especially for children, this signature celebration offers music, dance, and hands-on activities, making it a perfect way to welcome 2025 in a wholesome, festive atmosphere.
Event Details
The Countdown 2 Noon celebration takes place on Tuesday, December 31, 2024, at the Please Touch Museum, located at 4231 Avenue of the Republic, Philadelphia. To accommodate as many families as possible while maintaining a comfortable and enjoyable environment, the event is split into two sessions. Families can select between a morning session, from 9 to 11:30 a.m., or an afternoon session, from 1 to 3:30 p.m.
Each session concludes with the iconic simulated New Year’s Eve ball drop in Hamilton Hall, complete with a burst of colorful confetti. For families seeking a quieter, more sensory-friendly celebration, the ball drop will also be livestreamed on the museum’s lower level, ensuring an inclusive experience for all attendees.

The event reflects the Please Touch Museum’s ongoing commitment to offering inclusive, family-focused programming.
